The NCO camp ended with a bang. Good improvement started to be seen in the secondary 1 and 2 squad during the later part of day 2. As instructors successfully inculcated the meaning of 'team work' in the cadets. Not only did cadets move as one, they looked out for each other and took care of each other periodically - as opposed to the first day, when cadets cared only about their well being.
Campfire was great with new ideas pouring in. It started with a fire bird descending gracefully in to the camp fire. The cadets never failed to produce good standards in their performances. The theme 'comedy night' was a novelty, and definitely appealed to all after a tough day in camp.
The fun didn't end there. In the wee hours of the 3rd morning, cadets were awoken. On falling in, they realized a fellow cadet was missing! Everyone in the unit (yes, instructors too) were in a state of panic and started looking all over for the missing cadet! In this activity, cadets learn how to work as a team, and how important it is to look out for one another.
When it was time to break camp, all instructors went around shaking the hands of campers and had a good private conversation with as many campers as time would allow. This was a great time for campers to know, through the 3 days camp, what was observed of them from their activities.
It was a great camp and all were reluctant to leave. Nevertheless, time soon came for all to wave our goodbyes and return home for a good rest.
Well done everyone, Instructors and campers. Have a good break before the school reopens in 3 weeks. Also, a reminder to complete your school homework! (:

NCO Camp Day 1
So the count down began for many, as seen on facebook.
"2 more weeks to NCO camp", then "2 more days to NCO camp" and finally "NCO camp is here"
Such high level of enthusiasm is really commendable of cadets and instructors.
The fall in time was 730 on the first day, yet more than half the unit were seen waiting at the canteen around 6am!
730 sharp, the cadets were in their squads and ready with their neck id bands, and their squad flags. How far can they push themselves this camp? How much can they motivate themselves to achieve beyond the usual?
We'll see in a few days. (:
